Nipples that are retracted or inverted point inward toward the breast, lay flat, or point in the opposite direction. The majority of people with inverted nipples have them from birth. They are typically safe as well. However, if one or both of your nipples suddenly invert, this may indicate a problem that needs to be treated by a doctor. Make an appointment to be examined with our doctors or your healthcare provider.
Compared to their protrusion, inverted nipples indent more. They may appear on one breast or both. Nine to ten percent of women are thought to have at least one inverted nipple. Men may also have them. Some nipples only invert on occasion and can turn around in response to stimulation or temperature changes. Some nipples have a permanent inversion. An inverted nipple will typically not have any negative effects on you. Your risk of developing any health issues does not increase as a result of this natural occurrence. And it shouldn't affect how sensitive your nipples are.
The inverted nipple is not painful, but because of breast defects, it may have an adverse effect on one's self-confidence. Because their child cannot hold a flat nipple or an inverted one to suck milk out of the breast, this can also be problematic for mothers who are trying to breastfeed.
In general, those who have a flat nipple and are unable to treat it surgically or non-operatively, those who experience psychological issues as a result of breast defects, and mothers who struggle to breastfeed their children and want a permanent solution should think about having this surgery.

Surgery is the only option if you want a long-term fix for an inverted nipple. Surgery that preserves the milk ducts and surgery that does not are two distinct types of surgery.
Making an incision to divide the milk ducts will prevent the milk ducts from pulling the nipple inwards. According to our observations, this approach outperforms the stretching technique in terms of quality and durability of results. The drawback of this method is that you won't be able to breastfeed again after having it done. Therefore, it is crucial to discuss breastfeeding with your surgeon if you intend to do so. They might suggest the stretching technique or suggest delaying until after you have breastfed.Your surgeon may divide your milk ducts using one of several different methods. It is crucial to discuss the technique your surgeon will use because results can vary.
Trampoline Effect: To hold your nipple in an everted position, your surgeon will create a trampoline effect underneath it using some of the tissue from your nipple.
Nipple Splitting: To access the milk ducts before dividing them, the nipple is split vertically at this stage.
Areola Incision: To identify and separate the milk ducts, an incision is made around the area where your areola and breast skin converge.
